## Notes

- **Language**: the API words scans in German; the adapter replaces the five codes it has seen (`NTF`, `RFS`, `SCA`, `POD`, `SIG`) with English and keeps the carrier's text for any other code.
- **Time zone**: scan times are Swiss local time (`Europe/Zurich`).
- **Same-time scans**: delivery (`POD`) and signature (`SIG`) arrive with the same second.
